Agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration bought cocaine from Daniel Borja-Renteria on multiple occasions from August of 2010 through December of 2010.

Daniel and Freddie Borja-Renteria were arrested after the final sale on December 17, 2010.

Maria Borja-Renteria found out about the arrest and attempted to conceal and remove over 50 grams of cocaine from the Walton residence shared by the three in order to keep it from police. This effort was discovered by agents executing a search warrant on the residence on December 17, 2010. Agents recovered this cocaine as well as seized over $4,600 in currency, three firearms, a Honda Civic, and a flat-screen television.
